XBox One controller drivers on Windows 7

This may seem old, but lately I got an XBox One controller for the PC (Windows 7), yet it does not work, as I do not have the drivers for it.

I tried to install them through Windows Update, which is supposedly the only way to get them, but it did not find any. Likewise, tried to download some (or else, the only one that was repeated over and over again throughout many sites), but it still did
not work. The odd thing is that, for some reason, the controller did work in another computer, this one with Windows 10.

Is there any chance that certain drivers are locked from certain versions of Windows? I tried to copy said drivers from the Windows 10 version into the Windows 7, but it still did not work at all.

Is there any solution to this? i.e A way to manually download them?

Xbox One Controller Driver for Windows 8.1 & 7

Microsoft, can you make the Xbox One controller driver available online so that I can actually use your product with Windows 8.1 and Windows 7?

My controller is not defective and neither is anything in my OS. I even tested it out on Windows 10 PC and it works. I think the driver was removed online because Windows 10 comes with the driver pre-installed on the OS. However someone forgot that Windows
8.1 and 7 does not come with the driver pre-installed and so the users still need to download the driver in order for it to work.

Please make the driver available online for Windows 8.1 and 7.

Thanks

do.

 

Hi,

Did you get this to work? When Microsoft first released the driver/s for the Xbox One controller they were available from a download page, this page has now been removed. The official way to download the drive is via Windows Update.
If you have automatic updates on, when you connect the controller to a PC it should automatically download the required driver.

If you're downloading the driver from some other website or link, be aware that there are two versions for Windows 7, a 32 bit and 64 bit. You need to download the version that fits your Windows Install. If your computer is new and has at least 8 GB of RAM,
it will be the 64 bit version.

Windows 10 already has drivers for all Xbox controllers built in to the OS, which is why the controller works straight away on Win 10 machines. The Windows 10 driver can not be used on Windows 7.
